After the get command I see the text "nntp read: 15k" for a while in the minibuffer, until it moves on to the secondary servers (nnml and an nnimap server). I can update the NNTP groups individually with M-g but that is impractical in the long run. Here's what I did: Yesterday I decided to try nnslashdot. When I did my first A z it listed a hug amount of zombie groups. S z killed them, but also killed the nnslashdot groups. Due to a bit of clumsyness on my part, a big number of the zombie groups were subscribed, so I had to unsubscribe them, after I took an l to show the normal list of groups. Since I wanted to try out slashdot, without waiting for new groups to appear, I stopped Gnus, and removed the nnslashdot groups from gnus-killed-list, in ~/.newsrc.eld, and then restarted Gnus. This seemed to work, except I occasionally get the hanging in 'Mark set' that others have reported, so I have now removed it. My guess is that somewhere in there, I messed up a setting in ~/.newsrc.eld. But I have no clue about where to look. Any hints and ideas welcome! - Steinar
